BUT Friday...that's the end of the struggle and the beginning of your freedom and what better way is there then kicking it off with a bit of creativity.

Shhhhhhhhh...don't mention the C word!

 *Heart Zeena item. Zeena Shah is a fouvorite Designer makers and has participated at many of our fairs!

You know how it is and we really don't want to freak you out by saying there are how ever many shopping days until Christmas but ... it is just around the corner!
We've booked our date and are pleased to announce that we will be at the Vestery House Museum in the gorgeous Walthamstow Village on Saturday the 3rd of December.
Hooray!!! Because the William Morris Gallery is undergoing major work we're unable to host our annual Christmas fair in our usual venue but fear not...we're still raising money for the gallery!
You can expect the usual crafty goodness from our guys and gals and I hear we're having mulled wine this year!
Craft Guerrilla has quickly achieved a bit of a name fro itself for hand picking the best deisgner maker talent and offering high quality, premium hand made goods! So if you're looking for a very special gift for a very special friend or family member do come and shop with us.
More details to be announced soon.


Designer makers...her's what you need to know aka "the nitty gritty" if you'd like to sell with CG...
If you'd like to be considered for a stall please send us a photo of your stock or a website/blog which showcases your hand made items to: craftguerrilla@yahoo.com
If you are successful we'll then put you on our designer maker list and once bookings open in mid October you'll be able to apply for a space.

Please note that if you have been excepted to go onto our Designer Maker list that it does not mean you automatically have a space.

We will curate the event by choosing what we deem to think works in a sympathetic way with other stock and with the Craft Guerrilla overall "look" and hand made, indie craft ethos.
All designer makers are chosen in order to offer shoppers an array of interesting.original items and selection of all types of hand made goods from jewellery, home wares, children's clothing, toys, fashion, accessories and so on.

All items must be hand made and sold by the maker. We do not accept "agents" or over seas craft. Though we think overseas cooperatives are great we like to keep our craft miles down therefore showcasing local (London based/UK) makers.

 **We'll also be giving special preference for Designer Makers who haven't exhibited at our last fair and also to makers which DO NOT already exhibit in the area.

New events added!

Make do & mend craft night...Next Thursday!

This is just one of the cuties you can make at our diy craft night! Isn't it just adorable? Available to buy as a craft pack in a selection of colour combinations. As you know we're very much into recycling and up-cycling so where ever possible we re use materials or at least show you creative ways which you can make at home with a little bit of time, your crafting left overs and some imagination. This little necklace is made using small scraps of fabric, a re used necklace chain and the only "new" thing I've used are the jump rings which by the way you can harvest but I didn't have available at this time. So if you fancy learning how to make the most of what you have around the house and rather then spending a fortune or chucking it in the bin...come and make with us!!! Plus it's in a pub so...have a drink too!
